Title: Re: Rear wheel of Ducati 1098 comes off during rac Post by MotoBuddha on 04/03/11 at 08:15:17 Notice there's no hub or spokes, just the rim and tire. It's not that the wheel came unbolted, the spokes broke. Perhaps they've pushed the weight-savings envelope a bit too far. |

They have single-arm rear suspension and the wheel bolts on with a single nut, just like on racing cars or 1930's MGs with wire wheels. It could well be the nut wasn't tightened to specs. |
